Fair enough, but we lost 5 matches in the league (Inter, AC Milan, Roma and Samp x2 iirc) we lost the Coppa quarter final vs Lazio, and we lost both legs of the CL to Bayern. Plus, given Conte's stubborn lack of rotations, there are games we looked tired and run off our feet (Like losing to a 10 man Samp ffs). The only games we played where I feel we matched or bettered ourselves from last year's performance would have been our games against Chelsea (both legs), Roma (our first win) and Pescara (the 6 or 7 goal drubbing we handed them).
